But as the dance waxed warmer and the noise grew louder the Princess, yielding to the general feeling, thoroughly appre ciated the fun, and laughed outright. The Marchioness of Ely's fancy quadrille was next introduced. This was supported by the fol lowing ladies and gentlemen, and danced with much aplomb : This distinguished festivity, which for many two great Scottish charities i n t h e metropolis, years past has successfully aided the cause of the re ceived its crowning honour last night by the pre sence of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales. The sister kingdom has always enjoyed her full share of royal favour, and no op portunity has been lost of and sympathy felt by the Queen the interest Queen in Scottish asso ciations. This gracious pa r ti a li ty h as b een tho roughly appreciated aa b y h et so by all clas ses i u S co tl an d, an d not the many influential families the least connected with the charities of North Britain.

Willis's Rooms are specially adapted for ornamental display, and upon this occasion the general arrangements were made subservient to the expression of a loyal and patriotic sympathy for her royal highness's fatherland.

Thecoor i o d b o j r e s e t of were th e d f r e a s p t e iy d i t y w i was h a s t h a e ptly denoted by a tasteful arrangement of the various banners of the Scottish clans around the walls of the apartment, and the national thistle was prominently introduced in all the floricultural decorations. down shortly after were his Excel lency nine Th o'clock. , company e leeir .

The duchess was at tired in mourning, but the Danish colours were conspicuous in every part of her superb costume. The Duke a n d D uc h e ss of Buecleuch were among the early visitors. His grace wore the uniform of the Royal Archer Body Guard of Scotland. Before ten o'clock all th a t portion of the salo on not reserved for the Royal pa r ty a nd the fancy quadrilles was well filled. The ladies and gentlemen engaged in the fancy quadrilles, led by the Countess of Fife and the Marchioness of Ely, assembled in the lower saloon at ten o'clock, at which hour the ladies patronesses were in attendance to receive and welcome their Royal visitors. Pending the arrival of the Prince and Princess opportunity was afforded for admiring the exquisite toilettes of the ladies in these sets. Lady Ely's quadrille was supposed to represent the choicest flowers, baskets.of which formed the dis- tinguished ornaments of white silk dresses of great beauty. The ladies in the "Highland Quadrille," led by the Countesi of Fife, wore white bouillonne tulle skirts, with tunics of white silk bordered with tartan ribbond and edged with blonde, the belted plaid being fastened over the right shoulder. Each wore the badge of her family in the hair and the tartan of her clan. The boys and girls educated in the Caledonian Asylum, with their juvenile band, came at a quar ter to eleven o'clock.

Their Royal Highnesses were a ccompanied by Prince Louis of Hesse and Prince Alfred. The Princess was attired in white, with a broad sash of the Royal Stuart tartan thrown over the shoulder, and fas tened by an aigrette of brilli ants.

The excitement consequent upon the ocean matches of this great club has scarcely subsided ere the attention of the yachting public is called to the announced schooner races of the same club, appointed for Thursday next. This class of contest was first originated in 1853, the prize then being borne off by the noble Commodore Lord A. Paget's Rosa lind. The race was continued with indifferent success for lack of entries in one class only, but with the increasing po pularity and with it a prestige seldom enjoyed, it was found expedient last year to divide the race into two classes, those exceeding 100 tons for the first, and those not exceeding 100 tons for the second, and the same rule has been adopted in the present race, for which the following are entered : First Class. For a Prize value 100 sous. Yachts. Tons. Owners. Cissy Albertino Diadem Galatea The Cissy, although new to the metropolitan racing world, was built many years ago by White, but of late has been completely remodelled by Wanhill, of Poole. The Albertine, a very splendid boat, was built by Turnan, of Cowes, some three or four years ago, and won the schooner race of this club last year, and her other great performances since she has been afloat are too well known to need further description of ours. The appearance of the Diadem in this race is new ; she was launched from Wanhill's yard in 1861, and is said to be a very fine vessel. The Galatea is from the yard of Hansen, and in this match will contend again with her old opponent the Albertine, with which last year she had so splendid and successful a race. She shares in this match the favouritism of the Albertine to the exclusion of the others. Second Class. For a Prize value 50 sovs. Yachts. Tons. Owners. Fleur-de-Lys.. SO Mr H. W. Birch Aquiline 64 Mr H. Chamier Medea 7O Mr W. J. Rideout lolanthe . Intrepid Madcap Flying Fish Blue Bell Hesperus The Fleur-de-Lys was built by Aldous, of Brightling, and is a very fine boat, but has not been so successful as many of her compeers. The Aquiline is by Harvey, of Wivenhoe, and is an old boat. The Medea is a fine, whole some, weatherly craft, and wants a good wind to stir her ; she is about three years old, and has all the requisites of a fine sea-going boat, built by Patterson, of Bristol. The lolanthe was built at the Isle of Man, under the superin tendence of her owner. The Intrepid was built by Ratsey, of Cowes, and has sailed well in races round the coast. The Madcap is from the yard of Wanhill, and was launched last season, and from her racing qualities, as displayed in her successful match against the Albertine, bids fair to take a prominent position in this race, and is the favourite. The Flying Fish is a new vessel, of which nothing is known ; she comes from Southampton, and is said to be very fast. The Blue Bell, an old boat under the names of the Diana and Intrigue, was built by Ratsey, but has been subse quently altered, and won the prize last year. The Hesperus is unknown to the yachting world, and has only recently been launched. With such a list of fine craft this may ba considered a very open race. There is a time allowance of a quarter of a minute per ton for difference of tonnage in each class, and the course for both classes is to start from Gravesend, sail round the Mouse Light vessel, and return to Gravesend. The Eagle steamship has been engaged by the club for mem bers and friends only, and will leave London.bridgo at 10 precisely, and the Oread and Queen of the Thames will also accompany the race for the conveyance of the-public gene rally, leaving somewhat earlier than the club steamer. The races, as usual, are open to all Royal yacht clubs, and should the weather be fine will doubtless prove very interesting. lIENLEY-ON-THAMES REGATTA.

Lady Augusta Yorke and Viscount Duncan Miss Watson Taylor and Lord Dunlop Hon. Miss White and Lord Sandys Miss Sybil Montgomery and Sir Frederick Johnstone _ _ After this quadrille had been danced, the boys and girls educated in the asylum marched into the room and formed in front of the dais, where the Prince and Princess had an opportunity of admir ing their admirable appearance. At the word of command from Sir Charles Forbes, the boys gave a general salute, and the juvenile band played the National Anthem, the company rising from their seats. After the children had retired, the officers of the asylum and hospital were presented to the Princess, who conversed very graciously with Sir Heron Max well and others. A quadrille was then formed, in which the royal visitors took part. The Princess of Wales gave her hand to the Duke of Buccleucb, president of the asylum. The Prince of Wales danced with the Duchess of Wellington. Prince Alfred with the Duchess of Buccleuch. A valse followed, the Princess of Wales dancing with Prince Louis of Hesse, and the Prince of Wales with Lady Agneta Yorke. At half-past 12 o'clock the royal visiters were conducted to supper, which was served in the card room to a select party of sixteen guests. The Prince and Princess of Wake retired shortly after one o'clock. The ball was a great success, all the arrangements being perfect, and not the slightest hitch having occurred. The Cession of the lonian Islands, CORFU, June 3. The curtain has fallen upon the last act of the British Protectorate—the fair lonia is wedded to young Greece, and the guardian has given the happy couple his parting benediction. Long ex pected as the event has been, its realization seemed to take every one by surprise. The dismantling of the batteries, the embarcation of stores, and the demolition of the works have been going on steadily for months past, and yet there were many who continued to doubt that the cession was near at hand, and not a few persisted in hoping against hope that it might yet be averted. The arrival of the Greek Commissioner Extraordinary came upon all like the final verdict, and the inter change of signatures to the Protocol, which took place on the 28th of May, was the death warrant of British dominion in the lonian Islands. On the day following the promulgation of the Protocol, the Royal arms surmounting the Lord High Commissioner's palace and the main gate of the citadel were removed by a party of Royal Engi neers, and their fragments (they were of massive stone carving) wore sold to eager competitors at fancy prices. The removal•was effected at the in stance of the Greek Commissioner. It is to be hoped that this sacrifice will propitiate Hellenic patriotism, and that the winged lions of Venice which ornament most of the old works in Corfu may escape the spoiler's hand. On the 2d of June Corfu put on its holiday dress to bid farewell to its English protectors. There was not a cloud in the bright blue sky, there was not a ripple on the water—yet more bright and more blue. A small fleet of troopships and transports clustered around the majestic Marlborough ; near them lay a clumsy looking paddlewheel steamer, with 800 Greek troops, forming the future garrison of Corfu, on baard. The harbour was dotted with yachts and pleasure boats; the shores were lined with a dense mass of people of all classes. At 11 o'clock the last remaining regiment in the citadel, the 4th King's Own, marched out, and their guard at the main gate was relieved by a Greek guard of gendarmerie. They are not ill-looking men, and are fairly dressed and set up. The troops sent to garrison these islands are, however, said to be picked men, and euperior in equipment and in discipline to the rest of the army. Meanwhile the approaches to the Palace of St. Michael and St. George were choked by crowds of townspeople and villagers from many a mile around, and there was hardly standing room in the reception-hall, so eager were the people to pay their parting respects to the last of the Lords High Commissioners. When Sir Henry Storks, in a few graceful words in Italian, and in a voice which betrayed his emo tion, bade them farewell, at least three-fourths of his audience were in tears, and many blubbered out right (for the lonian is much given to the melting mood), as they crowded round his Excellency, shaking him by the hand, embracing him, and con ferring upon him not unfrequently those salutations which Englishmen generally reserve for the other sex. Nothing could exceed the good temper with which he bore these inflictions, and even when— freed at length, as he fondly hoped, from these over whelming demonstrations of affection—as he was descen ling the steps of the Palace, an elderly, fat gentleman approached him from behind, and, thug ing his arms about his neck, gave him half a dozen smacking kisses, there was not a shade of impatience mingled with the expression of surprise at this un expected honour. As he passed to the place of em• barkation every man in that dense crowd respect fully uncovered, and a running fire of " Zito's" marked his progress—interspersed now and then with a cordial " Good-bye and God bless you, Sir !" in an English voice ; and when he entered his barge and was rowed away under the last English salute from the batteries, there arose a parting cheer more loud and more hearty than I should have believed lonian lungs capable of uttering. At noon the Commander of the Forces, Sir Robert Garrett, accompanied by his staff, mounted to the flagstaff at the citadel, and as the British red ensign was unfurled at the Marlborough's main, our colours at Cape Sidero, Port Neuf, and Vido were simultaneously lowered, and the blue-and white flag of Greece was hoisted in their place. A very irregular salute was fired by the Greek Artil tillery from what but a minute befors had been our saluting battery; the Marlborough replied in splendid style, and the union was consummated. It was very touching to behold Sir Robert Garrett, in person the very beau ideal of an old English general, reverently, almost tenderly, bearing away the colours which had floated over the citadel for half a century. It will probably have been the last public act of a long life spent honour ably in the service of his country;and, as all un covered and bowed, as the old soldier passed along he was greeted with many a hearty " God bless you," and many an unspoken wish that he might yet live long to enjoy in his retirement his well. earned honours. There is a signal from the Marlborough; she moves; the strains of " God save the Queen" arise from all the ships as they follow in her wake, bear ing away the last representatives of British rule in ;he lonian Islands. Until the last ship has be. PRICE .4d. STAMPED,....Sd. come dim in the distance, crowds still gather upon the shore. "Sono buoni genti," said an old man, as with tears in his eyes he waved his hat towards the. departing Britons. "Adesso slam° liberi !" said- a young man, as he lit a cigarette by way of inaugu rating the new order of things. It was memory and hope brought face to face— the grateful recollection of many a past blessing, the vague ambition of some future greatness; the death of the old regime by the cradle of the new. Among those who witness the exodus may be seen a white-haired man, who with erect gait, but totter ing step, mingles with the crowd. He is a half-pay officer, above 80 years of age, and was present with the army when Genoa was ceded to Sardinia, again when bicily was ceded to Naples, and now once more he has seen the marching out of an English army and the hauling down of the English flag by English sol diers. He served under the first Lord High Com missioner, and he has made his parting bow to the last. He feels himself too old to be l transplanted, and returns to the home in Corfu which he has oc cupied for 50 years, a stranger in the land of the stranger. One of the old-established institutions of Corfu is "Taylor's." Not to know and to be known by Taylor is to argue yourself unknown. His shop under the esplanade is the refuge for distressed British subjects, whose wants he is ever ready to supply, from selling them a pair of gloves to hiring a house or buying a yacht, or negotiating a bill. Taylor's name is in Corfu " familiar in men's mouth as household words." He is part and parcel of the British Protectorate, and dearly loves the English, and especially the garrison, to whom he owes his prosperity. He has made a large fortune, but has ❑ever been suspected of a shabby act. If he is high in his prices, he is magnificent in his charities, and many an imprudent young officer has owed his sal vation to Taylor's liberality. He cannot survive the cession. As the English colours at the citadel are lowered, Taylor's signboard comes down with a run. His public life ends with the political death of the last Lord High Commissioner. The undisguised joy of the populace, now that the English are fairly off, is not flattering, but, after all, natural enough. Besides, it is not the wild exulta tion of the liberated slave, but rather the satisfaction of the old soldier who, weary of service, has bought his discharge and looks forward to make his own living, Some old grudges, perhaps, rankle in his mind; he cannot forget how the adjutant was hard upon him once when he took a drop too much, or how th 3 colonel would not allow him to marry when he was most in love, and he revenges himself by swaggering past them in plain clothes with a free and-easy salute. Nevertheless, he treasures the old uniform, and in days to come will point, not with out a feeling of pride, to the facings which he wore. Perhaps, too, when he is struggling hard to make a living for himself, he will look back with regret to the good old days whrn all his wants were pro vided for, and be had not a care or a thought for the future. Upon the whole the people are very orderly, and the few remaining English are treated with marked courtesy and respect. Every impartial witness will admit that our policy has been disinterested and honest, that our influence has been beneficial upon the character of the people, and that our rule has been marked with justice and moderation. Any animosities which may now exist will pass away, and in days to come, be their fate evil or prosperous, the Seven Islands will remember their English pro tectors as we shall surely remember those beautiful islands with a deep and affectionate regret. JUNE 6, The King of the Hellenes arrived here this morn ing, escorted byherMajesty's ship Revenge, carrying the flag of Rear Admiral Yelverton, and the French and Russian ships of war Magicienne and Oleg. In order to render his entry into Corfu as imposing as possible a temporary wharf had been erected in the Bay of Castrades, whence, preceded by his Capo Stalliere—as gorgeous as Widdicombe himself, and whom the populace occasionally mistook and saluted for the King—and two outriders, he drove slowly into the town, enthusiastically cheered, and, as he passed through the streets, literally pelted with bouquets from the windows which beauty, fashion, and loyalty occupied: His Majesty proceeded directly to the Church of St. Spirodine, where he made his obeisance to the well.preserved saint, and received the benedictory welcome of the Greek Archbishop; thence he made his way to the palace, apparently much pleased with his reception, as he kept on bowing from right to left with a happy smile upon his open boyish face. His councillor, Count Sponeck, sat by his side serious and thoughtful,speculating, perhaps, on the average duration of Hellenic enthusiasm. In the afternoon the young King put on a paletot and a white hat, and, taking his seat on the box of his pbmton, drove at a rattling pace along the favourite road, the One Gun Battery, astonishing the country people, who found it a difficult matter to dissociate majesty from fine clothes. To make up for this, however, King George appeared at the illuminations in the evening dressed in the uniform of the National Gaard, and bestriding a prancing charger. The King purposes making a stay of eight days in Corfu, and on his homeward way will pay pass ing visits to the principal southern islands. It will be then, when the novelty and excitement of her new existence will have worn off, when lonia in the cold gray morning light contemplates the re mains of the wedding feast and calculates its cost, that an interval of painful thoughts and sad fore bodings must intrude. Already the mass of the people feel the loss of a good and liberal customer ; the shops are empty, the market place is deserted, the houses are tenantless; the Greek soldier affects airs of superiority over the provincial, and looks upon the Seven Islands as on the summer residen ce of the Hellenic King, or at best as an Athenian suburb. The conscription lists are unrolled; the tax-collector is girding up his loins. A year's Parliamentary Reading: Titles and tables of contents have just been issued fur binding the "Sessional Papers" of the House of Lords for 1863. The papers are to form 60 volumes, most of them of folio size ; and the two volumes filled by the Minutes of Pro ceedingsvolume devoted to indexes, in 3 vwoiltuh a mes. Sixty-three volumes added brgthe w in ti the ole up house, te6 yearly in one department of a library make large demands upon space. Yet, speaking of the Commons' papers, which are substantially the same as the Lords', the late Mr Hume said publicly, and not a little proudly, in one of the latest years of his life, " I have them from the beginning—not a volume missing." But they seem destined to outgrow every private library. 24 of the volumes for 1863 are filled with reports from commissions ; several of these are the year's reports from these special commissions, of which some are always sitting, for the investigation of particular subjects, the report on Transportation, the report on the Employment of Children on Trades, and S 3 forth; but the staple of this division of the Parliamentary papers consists of the yearly reports from permanent boards—the Poor Law Board, the Ecclesiastical Commission, the Directors of Con. vict Prisons, and the like, the practice of annually reporting progress having by a modern usage extended also to the Post-office, the Inland Revenu e B oar d, the Customs, and indeed almost every department of the State. Nine more of the volumes of 1863 are filled with census reports, seven of them with the Irish census. Five volumes occupiedare two by reports of Parliamentary select c ommittees of the n houses, for each house contains a copy of the com mittee reports. Five volumes are up ia and u the year, colonial affairs, seven with State correspondence and forefore ign affairs, one with the slave trade papers of four with the public bills of the session. The contents of the remain ing volumes are cf a more miscellaneous description. Though it has just been stated that the two collections of these our national records, the Lords' papers and the Com mons' papers are substantially the same, the mo re s t r i ct h —paper s i n th e onetruth collection that e ti on tthhearte are ee noti n t differenceshe other—to h n eo r u _to make it incon venient venient not to possess both, and yet they are so substantially the same as to make it vexatious to receive both.

This month two severe engagements have taken place, in one of which the enemy met with a severe though not a complete defeat, while in the other we experienced the first notice able reverse of the campaign. The most important of the operations have occurred in the Waikato district, where the bulk of the English forces are assembled, and where General Cameron is in personal c ommand. After the seizure of the important settlement entitled Rangiaohia by the English, and consequent slam danment by the Maories of the positions they had taken up for its defence, General Cameron left camp for Auckland, where, after long co/Imitations with the colonial authorities, it was resolved not to advance the troops further /south, but to proceed across the country and complete the cordon across the Waikato delta. One of the principal reasons for this course was that the east coast tribes and the Upper \Vaikatos, with the Maori Ring Matuatera and the leading rebel chieftain, William Thompson, were in position at Maungatautari, on the eastern side of the delta, and it was hoped to entrap and mush these tribes—the owners of the land we had seized upon. It was known at this time that the Ngatimaniapotos—taken singly, the strongest of the hostile tribes—were erecting pahs in our front, but General Cameron decided not to interfere with them. Their nearest position was at Orakan, where they constructed works block ing up the main Maori track running to tho southern dis tricts. On March 22 General Cameron left Rangiaohia with the following forces :-620 of the 50th Regiment, 529 of the 70th, 190 marines and sailors, 25 Defence Corps, 80 of the 65th, 50 of the Royal Artill ry, and Capt. Jackson's com pany of Forest Rangers. These troops were joined on the march by detachments of the 18th and 70th Regiments, and with them the force numbered 2,000 men. General Cameron encamped at a place on the River Horatiu, called Pukerimu, seven miles from the lofty volcanic mass to which is given the name of Maungatutari. The enemy was found to be skilfully and strongly posted here, and preparations were at once commenced for an attack, artillery and sapping materials being forwarded as rapidly as possible from Ngar uawahia. General Cameron was, however, diverted from his plans by serious intelligence from the place he had left, The troops remaining at Rangiaohia and its neighbourbood consisted of the 40th Regiment, and detachments of tte 18th 65th, 2d Waikato Militia, and Captain Von Tempsky's company of Forest Rangers. This force was under th command of Colonel Carey, of the 18th, serving as briga• dierageneral. On the 30th March Colonel Carey recon noitered the Orakau position before alluded to, and on the 31st he marched all his available troops to the place. Ile de cided to storm the position, a strongly fortified earthwork, protected by a pa!isading and ditch. The attempt was made, but no scaling ladders having been provided, our men were twice repulsed, afterhaving gone close up to the works under a destructive fire. The 18th and 40th suffered most, and out of 14 of the former, who led the storming party, only seven returned alive. Some vainly attempted to climb tlee parapet, but the gallant fellows were either short or had to desist, seeing how hopeless the attempt was. As the work was too strong to be taken by storm, the wounded, dead, and dying were removed, the guns were put into position, and they commenced shelling the pah. Orderlies were de spatched to General Cameron for reinforcements, and Col.. Carey commenced a sap up to the pah. Th© assault having been commenced, it was necessary for the prestige of the , British arms that assistance should be afforded. General Cameron, therefore, had to give up his own plans, to return back from Maungatautari, leaving his real enemies to aban don or strengthen their position as they pleased, while he retrieved the disaster his subordinates had met with at an outpost. The Ngatimaniapotos at Orakau, we are told, were , only 3,000 strong, and they were completely surrounded. Yet, with the devoted bravery which .this gallant and chivalrous tribe has displayed throughout the struggle, these men refused all terms of surrender, though when General. Cameron arrived with the reinforcements they were out numbered five to one. While the sap was proceeding, the guns were playing upon the works with grape. The sap was run up to the end of the palisading, hand• grenades were thrown in, which must have done great execution, and one of the flanking angles of the redoubt was blown up. On the afternoon of Saturday, the 2d of April, the rebels, seeing no chance for them except by escape, made a lush en masse from the south side of their works, and, dashing through the lines of the 40th—who, it would appear, were taken by surprise, and made no effective resistance—made their way through the swamp, flying for their lives. The works being deserted our men rushed into them, and then fol lowed in hot pursuit; The rebels had got the start, but were fired on as they fled, with great execution, for 101 bodies were found, besides 18 or 20 reported by native pri soners to have been buried in the pah ; 33 were taken pri- soners, 26 of them being wounded. It is reported that Rewi, the leadingNgatimaniapoto chief, is among the killed, but the statement requires corroboration. The fact of the Maories having burst through the lyres of the 40th has caused some surprise. Had this not been allowed, every man in the pah must have been killed or taken, and the victory would have been complete. The conduct of Colonel Leslie, the commanding officer of the 40th, has been severely criticised by the Auckland press. As yet, however, only hurried details of the affair have been received, and until a full and correct statement of the particulars comes to hand censure should be with-. held. Under any circumstances, the action was a mis take, for the Waikato tribes, dispirited by its result, abandoned Maungatautari, where it was hoped they would be crushed, and fell back into the interior. General Ca meron's means of transport will not allow him to pursue them this season, and hence another Waikato campaign. appears inevitable. In this action Captain Ring, 18th Regiment, was killed; Captain Hereford, Militia, mortally wounded ; Captaiu Fisher, 40th, severely wounded; and Lieutenant Chevalier and Ensign Cbater, 65th, w ,, unded. The total loss was 16 killed and 52 wounded. The defeat we have alluded to occurred at Taranaki. Captain Lloyd, of th 3 57th Regiment, and 100 men, 50 of them being Victorians, under Captains Page and Jackson, and the remainder men of the 57th, while reconnoitring, were attacked by a body of Maories, concealed in rifle pits. The troops made a short stand, and then fled, Capt. Llcyd, while endeavouring to rally them, received seven shots ; six men were killed and 14 wounded. Next day the bodies of the dead were found with their heads cut off and carried away. The killed are Captain Lloyd, Privates Dooley an& Saddler, of the 56th Regiment ; and H. Banks, J. Neagles, and H. Hartley, of the Victorian Volunteers, Mrs, Lloyd became insane on hearing the news.

MARINE INVESTIVI ENT COMPANY.—Yesterday art extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the London Tavern, under the presi dency of Mr ii. A. Coffey, to consider the propriety of issu-. izg 10,000 additional shares under certain conditions, and of declaring an ad interim dividend out of the profits of the past half year, in anticipation of the dividend to be declared at the first ordinary meeting of the company. The follow ing is the substance of the report :—With a view to having the shares quoted on the Stock Exchange the directors and their friends subscribed for the residue shares required to be issued in order to secure this object, and in March last the number of shares issued was 7,000. This step on their part gave confidence to the public, and the consequence was that the board was able to distribute rateably and at a pre mium of lOs per share, among the existing shareholders, the 3,000 shares remaining of the first issue, and thus £1,500 was secured as the nucleus of a reserve fund. As the prospectus proposed that £l2 10s, or 50 per cent., should be paid on the first issue before the second issue should take place, it was now thought advisable only to call up £G 5s per share, or 25 per cent., and to authorise a second issue of 10,000 additional. When the amount came to be called up the profits for the pas t half year were ample t o j ust if y the directors in declaring a dividend of 5 per cent. for the half year, The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that the di rectors had e very reason to be satis fiede expected witli tle progress which the company was m a ki ng, and w hen the accounts were made u p f or the annual w ould show even a larg er di v i dend than they about to declare. Th e mot i on having been c i h was unanimously app rove d . Authority w as taken tsmwoeeeir;:ntuidneengdfe ey as 10,000 new shares, provided £6 5s per share was paid on the first, issue ; and an ad interim dividend was de clared at the rate of 10 p er cent., when the proceedings terminated. r.ivteaeAritsetecoocint,hn.dnrn.oig:nenticssetEvieo:ainEre:npsTtit.:rli-ouAl.:sr a:n-boebiireduvattne nerves, odistoi sound ,B i u n naw e rd s rhy : il cu, t sh h iing e s y fv a ileci l i e w s f ulfl y itsht s yyll a it g etiav g inie r ter a , : g : its cost in ether remedies, invariably cures them, restoring pure blood, ref reshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most di sordered or enfeebled.
